  1. <Zekka> internet is being slow and deserves *punishment*
  2. <D> lol :P
  3. <D> i think it's very zen
  4. <Snail> Just scanned the chat; looks interesting but I don't see a purpose
  5. <Scriptonaut> what's with the python assignment chaining. size = width, height = 600, 400
  6. <Scriptonaut> is that like saying size is a 2-tuple
  7. <Scriptonaut> or list
  8. <Scriptonaut> made of vars width and heighth
  9. <D> no
  10. <D> a tuple has ( )
  11. <Scriptonaut> an array? A list?
  12. <D> nope
  13. <D> lists are [,,,]
  14. <Scriptonaut> lol
  15. <Snail> You're essentially condensing a lot of lines into one but how does that help with time?
  16. <D> and snail
  17. <D> well
  18. <D> thats one way
  19. <D> condensing complex behaviours into simple actions
  20. <D> but also...
  21. <D> for the data visualization
  22. <D> every push or pull is visualised
  23. <D> so the programmer can follow the pushes and pulls on a specific variable and see exactly where it goes wrong
  24. <D> making debugging very quick
  25. <Snail> Ah, so it's a language that encourages callstacking implicitly
  26. <Snail> That could be useful
  27. <D> yes
  28. <D> every action, even simple ones, is internally a lot of pushing and pulling
  29. <Scriptonaut> a specific method from a specific type of object
  30. <D> yes
  31. <Scriptonaut> whoops
